Dr. Brown and the nurse in charge were in the act of taking Mr. Roddey from the car into the house when it was discovered that the roof was on fire. He was assisted hack into the car which drove across the street and parked under the shed of the filling station, while the fire department responded to the alarm and quickly extinguished the fire. In the meantime a large crowd having gathered to watch the efforts of the firemen, discovered Mr. Roddcy's presence and many of his friends went forward to greet him with mingled expressions of regret for his new misfortune and congratulations for his marvelous and rapid recovery from the serious and painful, and almost fatal attack of the previous Saturday night. The fire had originated from a hole in the chimney which permitted sparks to ignite the roof. The fire was quickly extinguished with only nominal damage to the roof and some small damage from water. Mr. Roddey was wonderfully composed and apparently less concerned than anyone else. His condition continue satisfactory, to the great relief of his many friends throughout this section.?

[ U. S. Authority Sees Ample Motor Fuel for Long Future HAR,RY H . HILL <*. I WIHU WORKERS IN GAS MASKS AT AN OIL WELL t -r I I l I i _ MR. HILLS IMPROMPTU SKETCH OF EXPERIMENTAL Ol L AN OIL DOM E ? SHALE REOUCTION PLAHT The U. B. Bureau of Mines is confident that motor fuel supplies will he ample, for many years to meet all needs of the country's millions of automobiles. Harry II. Ilill, chief petroleum engineer of the Bureau, here tells the reasons for this conviction, and sketches the advances in industrial methods which justify his opinions. By HARRY H. HILL Chief Petroleum Engineer, United States Bureau of Mines. ONE reason why there la no reason to worry greatly about motor fuel for a long time ahead la that people are worrying about It. Interest in such a question at the right time, is the best insurance against disaster. The President and the Federal Oil Corporation Hoard have done what wus needed, at the right time. We know that most petroleum has I come from rather limited areas and 1 that even from those only a small proportion has been taken out. Oil produced by gas presflure capable of lifting it to the surface when wo drill holes is but a small proportion of all the oil contained in the sands. Even from the best pools recovery by the , old methods is small, perhaps one- ! half In the most favorable conditions, oftener one-s'xth, or one-seventh, or I one-tenth. Hut a considerable part of what still remains in the ground can be recovered by methods now estab- J lished r.? technically and economically j practicable. Producing oil from coal and shales ' and by mining the oil bearing cands ! is entirely possible. Experiments are going on in these directions, and if we i ever have to fall back on these re- j sources we will be ready. For a long I time, however, the present methods of i exploration and drilling, with improving processes to assure larger recoveries, are likely to suffice. A.n Oil Dome Illustrated I am no draughtsman, hut maybe I j can draw something that will help ex- i plain. Here's a rough drawing of an oil dome The shaded part at the bottom is a deposit of oil bearing sands? with an impervious rock stratum above. A wild cutter drilled the hole A-H and gas pressure caused oil and gas to How After a while th,e gas pressure wasn't eufficlent to keep lip the flow and they pumped until ultimately even this ceased producing. Nevertheless, most of the oil waB still left sticking to the. sand grains. Then the operator drilled the W611 C-D, which flowed for a time, but (most of the oil was still down there In the sand. If the gas pressure could be restored more would flow. So the operator injects gas into one well, restoring the pressure and causing the oil to resume flowing from the other. After a time the flow will stop again, but still much of the oil will be left. In some fields It has been possible to obtain additional amounts of oil by introducing water in some of the wells and forcing the oil to others. The addition of a ch mical such as soda aeh to the water may assist in removing the oil from the sand grains, but neither plain water nor water containing chemicals should he introduced into an oil ?p.nd except as a last resort, far it is likely that tho water, whjch travels' faster through the sand, will get to the open wells ahead of the oil and when the flow Is resumed under pressure water will come oOt. Everything Saved Nowadays The gan escaping from an oil well carries with It a proportion of gasoline, whtch In the old days was lostNowadays it Is extracted Trom the gas and saved, while the dry gas can be forced back into th? ground to mainlain pressure. One of the menaces to most oil pools it the inflow of subterranean water. Water flows through fhe oil sands faster than oil, and by surrounding sh bottom of iht well keeps the oil out. How to shut off the water and permit the oil to run out is a problem with which the engineers have long worked. They have made great progress and so increased recoveriee. In earlier times most oil producer? carefully guarded all Information about their wells and experiences, but latterly there Is co-operat'.on In theeo matters. Geologists and petroleum engineers, once derided by the "prac- I tlcal" oil men, are more arid more accepted as guideB and mentorB. New knowledge is constantly increasing recoveries. As to Mining for Oil In Lorraine they have dug shafts | down to the oil eands and actually | brought the sands out, like coal from a mine. But it's costly. Another mining process is to ?ink a shaft to the oil sands ami from its bottom drive tunnel* in all directions through the sande. From these tun nels small perforated pipes are driven into the sands, which drain the? oil out of the sands. It flows t ) larger pipes bock at the foot of the ?3naft and thence is pumped out. This requires installing an expensive plant, but In some fieltf-s the high recovery that is assurer! might justify the cost. I understand the process 's about to he Jntsalled in a few ftelds in this country, sypic companies being convinced It is practicable and profitable. Oil can be diat lied from coal, find much work is now being done along this line. But more appeal has I been made by the plan of extracting oil from shale. The r-hales of Scotland have been worked for three-quarters of a century, and tl.-oy are almost unlimited In this country, richer In oil thfTn those of Scotland. Kentucky. Ohio, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming and California are particularly rich In Shales. It is just a question of the cost of extracting the oil. Con- j gress hao given $180,000, with which the Bureau has inetalled a plant near Rulison, Colorado, to distill oil from the Colorado River Shales. It Is calculated that the eliales mined at Rulison will produce about-a barrel of oil to the ton. The Use of Oil Shales In Scotland-they are wprking shales that produce about twenty-five gallono of oil per ton. The seams are from threc-and-a-half to eight or -fan Teet thick. In Colorado are seame many times as thick and containing much more oil per ton. Reduction, of shales involves an enormous mining operation, and after the oil Is extracted the vast tonnage' of refuse must be disposed of. So it is expensive compared with producing oil from wells. Bon E. Lindsay of tho Bureau of Mines Experiment Station at Bartlesville, Okla., Is confident that exploraI tlon, better recoveries* better utlllza- I I tlon and deeper drilling would furnish ! enough oil to meet all requirements for at least twenty-five to fifty years, If It could bo extracted in that! time. But as a practical matter this will not bo possible. Within that period there will be^ time? of shortage, when oil from shales will lie needed to supplement the oil from wells, etc. * H Meantime federal and state governments and the Induetry are co-operating in an astonishing range of Investigation^ and studies.
